16 views2 pages

Document Summary

The photosynthetic organisms capture light energy and use it to transfer hydrogen atoms from water to acceptor molecules, in the process forming molecular oxygen, while synthesizing atp from adp and phosphate. Eventually, a transfer of hydrogen atoms from acceptors to carbons from co2 will form glucose. Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplast, like the mitochondria, is an endosymbiont. Pancakes stacked upon each other, filled with thylakoid lumen. The chloroplast is like the mitochondria, with a double membrane, with the outer membrane being more permeable. Light reactions: 2 water + 2 nadp + 3 adp + 3 pi -> o2 + 2h + 2nadph + 3 atp. Dark reactions: co2 + 2h + 2 nadph + 3 atp -> carbohydrates + water + 2 nadph + 3 adp + 3 pi. An action spectrum made upon plants indicated that certain wavelengths were more preferable for photosynthesis than others. The pigments in the thylakoid membranes are responsible for this.
